Trade Review
"The great strength of John Matteson’s biography lies in his ability to place Margaret Fuller against the social milieu that both made her possible and got in her way. We see, as never before, a life constantly moving onto new ground." -- Robert Ferguson, author of The American Enlightenment
"In the title of his well-written book, Matteson refers to the "lives" of Margaret Fuller because, he explains, she continually reinvented herself over the course of her lifetime." -- Mary Beth Norton, author of Separated by Their Sex: Women in Public and Private in the Colonial Atlantic World - New York Times Book Review
